Hatsune Mikuo

Hatsune Mikuo is the popular genderswap based on official Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.

Design
Mikuo's design is often reminiscent to that of Hatsune Miku, a Vocaloid 2 developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media. There has been no defined design as it changes from artist to artist, but it is common to see him wearing pants and a sleeved shirt. The most popular hairstyle for him is short with bangs, though a ponytail has often been seen. On his left upper arm is the red mark "01", which is Miku's series number.

Personality and traits
Mikuo has no defined personality, as he is an open source character. His height, weight, and optimum voice settings are undefined as well. This is because portrayals of him vary from artist to artist, he's commonly portrayed as tall and muscular or of small stature with a build similar to Miku.

Source: Vocaloid Wiki
Mikuo came to be as a result of extreme down pitching of Miku's songs, and possibly a desire to have Miku sound masculine. His visual characteristics followed soon after.

Mikuo's depiction varies; he's often portrayed as Miku's sibling, either as a twin or an older brother. And although he is one of the Vocaloid derivatives that continues to be popular, he is not officially recognized by Crypton Future Media.

Notable media
The following songs were created by configuring Miku's voice in Vocaloid, not by merely down pitching existing songs with a third-party audio program.

Notable media: Aria-P
This producer made an album 'Dull Color Reliance' featuring 9 original songs using Mikuo and Miku.

Media trivia
In this song, Mikuo is a soldier. He sang about his lover (Miku) and his mission to destroy the 'yellow diva' (Rin). In the end, Mikuo was killed by a boy (Len) for revenge.

An original song by Aria-P. In this song, Mikuo is shown to be a 'bug' in Miku's voicebank. The Master of the computer wants to update the voicebank so no 'bugs' will be seen ever again. This song is about Mikuo spending his last moments with Miku before his 'deletion'.

Relationships

 * The proposed fanon relationship appears to be popularized by pairing Mikuo with Megurine Luki, Megurine Luka's genderswap. And depending on the intention it is either brotherly or romantically.


 * And as previously mentioned, the relationship when paired with Hatsune Miku varies, though it is commonly established as being sibling related.

Trivia

 * No one truly knows who first coined the name Mikuo.


 * The name ミクヲ (Mikuwo) or ミク♂ has also been seen, but both are not as frequently used as ミクオ (Mikuo).


 * Mikuo is among the first generation of Fanmade Vocaloids that are what today are called Pitchloids.


 * On 29th of May, it was known as 'Mikuo Day 2011'. A number of fanmade PVs, and covers using Mikuo were posted to celebrate that day, and can be found with the tag 'ミクオの日2011' in Nicovideo.
